Multiple state agencies are looking into whether a political action committee backing former Republican President Donald Trump, and backed by the world’s richest person, has been committing civil or criminal violations in North Carolina.

Elections officials have launched an investigation into the allegations, which revolve around claims that America PAC falsely told North Carolinians it was registering them to vote, a spokesman for the State Board of Elections confirmed Wednesday.

“North Carolina law makes it a crime for someone to fail to submit a voter’s registration form if that person has told a voter that they would be submitting the voter’s registration form,” elections board spokesman Pat Gannon said.

America PAC is backed by Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk, who tops the Forbes list of world billionaires, as well as several other wealthy tech industry insiders. The group didn’t provide a statement when reached for comment.

Gannon said the elections board itself doesn’t have the power to file criminal charges but could refer the case for prosecution, depending on what its investigation discovers.

The North Carolina Department of Justice is also looking into America PAC but has yet to begin a formal investigation, a spokeswoman for Attorney General Josh Stein confirmed this week.

Stein, a Democrat, is running for governor this year. The state elections board is also led by a Democratic majority. And the complaint into America PAC and its pro-Trump activities that kicked off the investigation was filed by a Democratic activist from western North Carolina, David Wheeler.

The presidential election is in November, just three months away, and voting begins soon. In North Carolina, mail-in ballots will start being sent out in early September.

Enter the pro-Trump America PAC. Its stated goal is to encourage people to participate in the election, and in the past it has pledged to help people register to vote if they haven’t already. Critics say it’s really just a thinly veiled — and potentially illegal — effort to get valuable information about potential voters, such as phone numbers and email addresses, which could then be passed on to friendly political campaigns.

Wheeler’s complaint against the PAC, obtained by WRAL, alleges that it broke a number of state laws — including falsely promising to register people to vote and improperly holding onto their personal information.

“They obviously didn’t think this through,” Wheeler said in an interview.

The PAC has already been making changes, as it has faced national scrutiny over similar allegations. It no longer offers to register people to vote and recently underwent a change in leadership, according to a person directly familiar with the PAC’s operations who was not authorized to comment on the record about its inner workings.

The person, who is affiliated with the PAC, added that the group stands by all its actions as being fully legal, and that so far no North Carolina officials have formally reached out to its leadership about the investigation or to ask any other questions.

But Wheeler, who leads a liberal PAC called American Muckrakers, said North Carolina has strict laws against political groups collecting information such as peoples’ date of birth, which he said America PAC did when it was claiming to help register people to vote. Wheeler personally went to the PAC’s website and entered all his information, he said, including his cell phone and email, as it promised to help him register to vote and get a mail-in ballot.

“The website did not register me to vote, nor did it sign me for an absentee ballot,” he wrote in his complaint. “This website is a fraud.”

He then cited three specific state laws he believes the group broke, and suggested the State Board of Elections call Musk as a witness.
